Internet Explorer Won't Post

signature16 · February 16, 2007

I am trying to setup this script but for some reason Internet Explorer won't post the data. When I submit the data, it is like I typed the URL to the actions pages in. It doesn't do anything it is supposed to do. On Firefox it works perfectly.

Internet Explorer won't post the data when I click the "Submit" link...or when I hit enter on the keyboard. I'm not sure whats wrong.

The Submit button is at the very bottom of the code part.

Can somebody please help me?

Thanks so much!

change

 <form method=POST action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>">

to

 <form method=POST action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>">

see if that makes any difference.

signature16 · February 17, 2007

papface: thanks for the quick reply.

Same problem even after I changed that.

marcus · February 17, 2007

Try looking at your code.

        <?php <tr>

Try echoing that until you reach the if statement.

signature16 · February 17, 2007

mgallforever: what do you mean?

sspoke · February 17, 2007

well submit is a image

what you mean won't post you mean internet explorer doesnt refresh the page? thats not a PHP problem thats a html problem

marcus · February 17, 2007

You're putting HTML into a PHP statement without echoing or printing it.

<?php
echo "<tr>"; //rest of your code

papaface · February 17, 2007

This may be why:

change

<form method=POST action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>">

to

<form method="POST" action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>">

marcus · February 17, 2007

How does that differ from your previous post? It wouldn't matter if POST was surrounded by quotes unless he was following a DOCTYPE.

sspoke · February 17, 2007

the POST has quotes now

papaface · February 17, 2007

How does that differ from your previous post? It wouldn't matter if POST was surrounded by quotes unless he was following a DOCTYPE.

IE can be picky

marcus · February 17, 2007

You're better off doing:

<?php
echo "<form method=post action='$_SERVER[php_SELF]'>\n";
?>

sspoke · February 17, 2007

o just looknig at the code I see

<?php <tr>

wtf?

just remove the

<?php and it should work

tested it stilll doesn't print submit button but it loads more of the page now..

ataria · February 17, 2007

the POST has quotes now

I never code with quotes, and all my scripts work.

quotes don't do anything.

marcus · February 17, 2007

And you have some minor issues.

if ($url == '')
{
echo "http://";
}

Change that to:

if(empty($url)){ //or !isset($url){
  echo "http://";
}

sspoke · February 17, 2007

Cuz look

<?php <tr>

<td>Website or Email:

</td>

<td><input type="text" name='url' value='<?

if ($url == '')

you see you started a <?php but you never put anything in it or even closed it than you start a new php with a shorttag <? whats the point of that?

marcus · February 17, 2007

And you're also wasting space by using

<?php echo $var ?>

You can use the shorthand

<?=$var?>

signature16 · February 17, 2007

I removed that weird <?php <tr> thing. I think it was just a mistake with me trying to comment stuff out.

Here is the updated code, which still doesn't work.

          <td colspan="4"></td>
        </tr>
      </table>
    </form>

thanks so much for the help so far everybody.

Okay. Let's look back.

Can't you just type in the stupid URL instead of using the php_self?

I mean, c'mon.

sspoke · February 17, 2007

I just tested your new code I commented out the function show_country_codes and I see a image I can click it and it does Post data

your main script is missing $_POST['Get stuff'] ..

marcus · February 17, 2007

Your main problem is that you haven't defined the variables from what you've given us.

sspoke · February 17, 2007

O I see what you want to do No idea why but you want after a user refreshes the page his posted data stays there

just replace

<? echo $emailConfirm; ?>

<? echo $phone; ?>

<? echo $storename; ?>

etc... the left overs to..

<? echo $_POST['storename']; ?>

just for testing see if it posts you should see the same data after you submit the page after it refreshes

signature16 · February 17, 2007

ataria: same error even after i put the full URL in.

ataria · February 17, 2007

ataria: same error even after i put the full URL in.

If it's...

www.yoursite.com/index.php

you just gotta do.. index.php

signature16 · February 17, 2007

sspoke:

<? echo $_POST['storename']; ?>

When I put that at the top of the page, it posts the storename in IE and FF.
